My first ever travel award of sorts! Well not really 😉 I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Heather Cole from the Conversant Traveller. Thank you so much for this honour Heather, it has really encouraged me to keep striving with my blog!

So, the Liebster Award is essentially a game in the newbie travel blogger network where up and coming travel bloggers linked up, there by spreading the travel blogger network.

Game Rules:

Thank the blogger who has nominated you. Duh!

Answer their questions

Nominate other travel bloggers (ideally those with under 600 followers, likes, whatever you want to call them)

Ask them questions

Here are the answers to Heather’s questions:

1) What one item do you never travel without?

I doubt I can travel without my travel diary. When I travel, I have a habit of slipping into a meditative state, wherein I have divine revelations. Kidding. I tend to introspection a lot while I travel. I like noting my thoughts so I can relive that travel moment.

2) What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten?

Caviar in Russia. You surely have to develop a taste for it.

3) If you had to choose a country to live in, which would it be, and why?

I think I’d love to live Sweden. It’s got beautiful people, lots of food, culture and proximity to major European cities.

Pictures of Leh, Ladhak, the fragrance of Earth during rains, Wikimapia, Austin Stevens, Roald Dahl’s books ‘Boy’ & ‘Going Solo’ are some of the things that inspire me to travel.

7) Favourite souvenir?

The Matriushka dolls (Housing Dolls) I got from my trip to Russia.

8) If you could have dinner with anyone you like (dead or alive) who would it be, and why?

I would dine with Heather, for having recommended me for the Liebster Award and get to know her better!

9) Where’s the first place you ever travelled?

When I was one, my parents decided to treat the entire family to a grand party at a hill station near my city called Mahabaleshwar. That’s the first place I travelled to ; the funny thing is I haven’t gone back since then.
